-so cold in Maple Creek, Sask. they put their rye in the refrigerator to warm it up!

-so cold in Oklahoma it laid a sheet of black ice on Interstate 40 so slick that traders as far east as El Reno could tie five steers together, lay 'em down and slide'm plum to Elk City auction barn with just one push!

-so cold at Monfort's feedlot in Kersey, CO the horse's feet looked like coasters on a footstool, the steers humped up like mountains complete with a timberline and every pen checker tore holes in his moon boots tryin' to get his spurs on!

-so cold between Lander and Casper, Wyoming that the wind froze everything within 168 sq. mi. Fortunately no one was hurt.

It was so cold! Craig called from Consort, Alberta. I asked him what the temperature was. He said, "Minus 38."
